Jordyn's Story

FAST FACTS:<br/>* 8 Months Old & 60lbs<br/>* Dog Friendly<br/>* Kid Friendly<br/>* Potty Trained<br/>* Super Affectionate and Funny<br/><br/>Before I tell you about myself, let me tell you where I came from.<br/><br/>I was born in West Texas as part of a litter of 10 puppies. My mama lived tied up in a pen, and life wasn't easy for us. Sadly, only six of us survived. A kind animal control officer named Sergio noticed us growing up with very little care and stepped in to help. The owner surrendered us to him, and he worked hard to find homes for as many of us as possible. When I was about four months old and already around 30 pounds, Sergio reached out to Fetching Tails Foundation because he knew my chances of finding a family would get harder as I got bigger.<br/><br/>And that's how I got my second chance.<br/><br/>Now, enough about my past-let's talk about the important stuff: ME!<br/><br/>I'm a professional toy chewer, puddle jumper, mud runner, and full-time good boy (with just a little bit of puppy chaos mixed in). I LOVE other dogs-like, "let's be best friends immediately" kind of love. I'm always ready to play, but I'm also pretty good at figuring out when another dog needs a break.<br/><br/>I'm potty trained (just let me out first thing in the morning, please!), and I'm trustworthy when left out around the house. No destruction here! At bedtime, my favorite place is curled up next to my people. Snuggling is one of my greatest talents.<br/><br/>I love kids, toys, treats, running around the yard, and basically anything that sounds fun. Sometimes I can get a little mouthy when I'm excited, but I'm just being a goofy puppy and still learning my manners. Speaking of manners, I already know "sit" and I'm eager to learn more because I'm a smart guy who really wants to make his people happy.<br/><br/>I've come a long way from that little West Texas puppy pen, and now I'm ready for a family of my own. If you're looking for a loyal best friend who will make you laugh, keep you active, and then happily snuggle up with you at the end of the day, I might just be your perfect match.<br/><br/>If interested in adopting me please fill out an application on our website at www.fetchingtailsfoundation.org; please make sure you fill in every required field/question or your submission will not go through. Please note that we take time to learn as much as we can about each dog in our care and our bios are our current observations; we are unable to make any guarantees on the future health or temperament of your adopted dog. Most dogs in our care come with unknown pre-rescue history and as such breed and age estimates are an educated guess.<br/><br/><br/>ADOPTION REQUIREMENTS, NO EXCEPTIONS:<br/><br/>*ADOPTION FEE: $375<br/><br/>*Be at least 21 years of age<br/><br/>*Have the knowledge and agreement of all adults living in the household<br/><br/>*Have approval from owner of residence (written in lease)<br/><br/>*Have a valid ID with current address (please provide proof of address if ID address is not up-to-date)<br/><br/>*Be approved as a suitable adoptive home by Fetching Tails Foundation<br/><br/>*Be prepared to make a lifetime commitment<br/><br/>*QUESTIONS ABOUT OUR POLICIES?

Fetching Tails Foundation's Adoption Policy
1). All dogs listed on the website are currently available for adoption. We are volunteer-run and will do our very best to respond to your interest in one of our dogs within 24-48 hours. If you have not received a response by the 48-hour mark, please check your spam. 2). The decision to place one of our rescue dogs into either a foster home or adoptive home is not one that we take lightly. We reserve the right to deny any application and may not disclose the reason for denial. This decision is not made on a first-come, first-served basis, it is determined by who would be the best fit for our dog based on their personality in a foster home. 3). At times we have multiple applications on the same adoptable dog - and we reserve the right to stop accepting applications at any point when there is an overwhelming number of applicants for the same dog. This may be the reason you do not see the particular dog on our website or any partner websites, even after submitting an application. If an application is submitted, you should expect a response from us. Process Application – As a potential adopter, you will fill out and submit an adoption application. Your application will be reviewed by an FTF Volunteer, who will contact you within 24-48 hours of submission. Again, please check your spam if you do not hear from someone by the 48-hour mark. Meet If the application is deemed a good fit, the foster/volunteer will schedule a meet with the applicant and everyone in the household. All members of the application household, including dogs, will meet at a secured location decided by the foster and applicants. If a person or dog is over often, they are able to attend as well. Home Checks: After the application has been approved and the meet and greet has been done we will move forward with a home check. ** Please note, if you are in a rented home, we will be contacting your landlord for their approval prior to adoption. If the approval is not written in your lease, we will need written approval from your landlord. Contract If you are approved for adoption, you will be notified and adoption will be scheduled at one of two locations. You will fill out our adoption contract, which details our policies and procedures regarding the responsibility and care of the Fetching Tails dog. At this time you will receive proof of all vaccinations, the microchip number, test results, a rabies certificate, and any additional medical records, if necessary. Adoption Donation When you adopt a dog, you're not buying a pet. Your donation isn't a fee for your adoptee - it's a gift that helps us pursue our mission, save lives, and ensure we can provide care to all the dogs in our program. Senior dog. 8 years and up / $125 Adult or Young Dog. 6 months to 7 years / $375 Puppies. Under 6 months / $450 (Cash or check accepted only on adoption day) Care Provided At minimum, all Fetching Tails dogs receive the following: Fecal tests (and treatment, if needed) Age-appropriate Vaccinations Microchip, which will be transferred to you at the time the adoption is processed with our 24PetWatch chip Heartworm Test (and treatment, if positive) Spay/Neuter Surgery Flea & Tick Preventative (during the proper season) Heartworm Preventative (during the proper season) **Please note the following: 1). We are unable to make any guarantees of the future health, age, temperament, size, or breed of your adopted dog. 2). In the event that the adopter is no longer able or willing to care for the adopted dog, or the dog is no longer a “fit” in the home, the adopter understands that the dog MUST be returned to Fetching Tails Foundation. If the adopted dog is not returned to Fetching Tails, the Foundation has the right to subject a fine and if necessary, will take legal action. 3). Please read over your adoption contract carefully.
